The road system will link two tourism hubs of thenorthwestern region. It is also expected to ease congestion on National HighwayNo.6 through Hoa Binh and Son La, while contributing to the overallsocio-economic development of the two provinces.

Built at a total cost of over 22.29 trillion VND (952.05million USD), the road will allow vehicles to travel at 60-80 km per hour.

The northwestern region consists of 12 mountainous andmidland localities, including Yen Bai, Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Son La, HaGiang, and Hoa Binh.
